Hey everybody
My friend and I are organizing a 6 week roadtrip in the U.S. We have already organised the first 3 weeks (California, Monument Valley, Vegas, Montana, Denver, ABQ) but we need ideas for the second half of our trip.
So basically, if you had three weeks to go from ABQ to NYC, where would you go ? Through which states would you drive ? We were thinking of driving up to Chicago -> Washington -> NYC.
Any ideas ?
:lol:
Use it as a main trunk to get across the country, and branch off and then back again as they go. On I-10 they can visit Phoenix and take a side trip to the beautiful Sonoran Desert and spend the night in Gila Bend (I have relatives there) and then in Las Cruces or El Paso, and once they're in your state, take a ride on a boat along the river walk in San Antonio down the San Antonio River and visit the Alamo, run south from Houston to Galveston Island then take a fishing trip in the Sabine Pass. Then they have the rest of the Gulf Coast - visit a casino in Lake Charles, eat some food like they have never had and will never have again in Lafayette (the center of Cajun Country [Acadia]), then visit the French Quarter in New Orleans, stay the night on the beach in Biloxi, tour old downtown Mobile, and visit the pristine white sands of Panama City Beach, then spend a day in the oldest city in the US, Saint Augustine.
And that's just I-10. Then they can start up I-95 with Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk/Suffolk/Richmond, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and the birth place of our government, and then of course NYC and all it has to offer.
Sure, they could take the back roads, but what we forget is how BIG our country actually is. They only have 6 weeks. If they want to spend time in any single area, they will need to get from one point to the other rather quickly.
We have states that it can take longer to travel across than most of Western Europe. Just my suggestion though.
This sounds insanely convincing, I'll look into it Thanks !

Spent 8 weeks in the Canyonlands and still didn't get it all in, so I'm no help at all. I like the eastern side of the mountains in Oregon and canoeing in Canada north of Ely, Minn. 2nd best. The eastern U.S. has lots of nice scenery, particularly western and central Penn., and up through Vermont and Maine, and northeastern NY state, but the congestion and general hassle of getting through and back out cancels it all out, imo. Fall is a better time to travel in all cases as well.
Did you ever visit the Blue Hole in Oregon?
